Working title is 'Bunuel'.  How about 'Reservations'?  Seems a possibility since it's about diners trying to eat at a restaurant, and based on the two films, they certainly have reservations about their lives.  Or perhaps it's too coy a title for Sondheim?

bruzson, are you really telling Sondheim what should the title of his show be? :o

Between 'Gold', "Wise Guys', 'Bounce' and 'Road Show', he might have benefited from having as many good options to choose from and settle on one early on, IMHO :).

Or alternately as a title, "It doesn't matter what this show's title is, all you need to know is it's Sondheim so you're going to watch it. Now give us your money."

With only half of the score truly completed, per the Post article, I think it's safe to assume Buñuel is merely a working title for the workshop...

that'd be a rare occurrence indeed
